Totally disagree. Walking Dead is not even close to on par with the Best Drama nominees.

And Jennifer Carpenter has always seemed like the weak link in the Dexter cast.

I didn't mean Walking Dead as best drama - I meant more so that is was snubbed completely.
Andrew Lincoln had a moment in one episode that is going to remain with me long after I even recall any of the best actor nominees performances.

The same goes for Jennifer Carpenter - yes her character is exactly as you described - but she has had incredible tour de force scenes that if you don't recognize = her revelations with Dexter and the climaxing scene with LaGuerta
- I dunno you must be watching another show.

Just finished the first season of Orphan Black. Tatiana Maslany is just extraordinary. It's silly and pointless to dwell on awards, of course, but really, if they're going to claim to recognize outstanding performances this has to be one of the great snubs in the history of the Emmy's. Not only does she run the gamut of emotions in the lead role, she runs the gamut in several supporting roles. Without overacting the different characterizations, she manages to make, what, five or six characters into distinct, believable individuals.

A most egregious omission if ever there was one.

I'm with you. I think she's so good, that I watch and half the time I forget it's the same actress playing all those parts.

And I'll bet there are a few more clones she's going to have to play next season too

As I don't own a TiVo I'm not quite sure what TiVo has to do with the discussion. I'm assuming by OTA he means the broadcast Networks (ABC, NBC, etc.) as opposed to Cable and OD channels. Perhaps he means that with OTA it gives you more flexibility when to watch those shows which are usually shown only once, where cable shows, (especially the premiums) are shown multiple times. I THINK that's what he's getting at.

I think what he meant was, he didn't want to hear people complaining that new TiVo models don't work with OTA, because who cares, there's nothing good on those channels anyway.
